Gary Coleman was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah on May 26th, 2010, after falling and hitting his head. He initially suffered an intracranial hemorrhage at his home in Spanish Fork, Utah, and was announced to be in critical condition. Within hours, Coleman was unconscious and on life support, dying at 12:05 p.m. MDT on May 28, 2010. (from Wikipedia)

My favorite: I met him at an arcade he ran in Los Angeles when I was a kid, maybe 15 years ago. I couldn't believe it was him, but at the same time, wasn't so much excited as confused. Can't really say why.

that is so sad.. I was going to tell of this footy show here in Aussie, that awards a Gary Coleman medal @ week for the most angry minute in a game. <br />I did enjoy his show and the character he played...R.I.P Gary.

Seeing him as the mischievous guy with the huge smile on the tv show. Sad that this happened. His life took many wrong turns as did others in this cast. Makes a person wonder about getting fame at such a young age and not having good people to look out for them. He joins so many other young famous people now who had their lives cut short with accidents and self destruction. Very sad.

In Hollywood looks are everything.<br />Gary Coleman rebuffed that...and Hollywood agreed.<br />We witnessed him as a cute little boy and watched him grow into a man finding his own way in the world.<br />Gary Coleman became a huge pop culture figure.<br />Think about it... most people know The Beatles, JFK, Ghandi, Olivia Newton John, Barack Obama, John Travolta, Robin Williams , MLK, Lady GAGA, and also ...Gary Coleman. <br /><br />I am very grateful to the good people who work on shows like " The Simpsons" by including him and keeping him front and centre .<br />I even saw him do a bit on Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t. <br />Last night every News channel I tuned to from CNN to BBC... was talking about him.<br />Hollywood does have a heart. <br />Little Gary Coleman ..?<br />More like Larger than Life Gary Coleman ...his is defintely a part of our culture and..he was everyone's Little Brother.
